a there's a treatment. people know how to protect themselves from the databases science is still evolving they're still trying to do just so look working on better tools every every year basically the recommendations get easier and whoever has the disease doesn't need to die anymore which was very different 3040 years ago so yes there's a huge difference and this this can be learned to diseases different so that's why it's critical but again i also believe we need to learn to live in this disease even if they have a vaccine we still need to get around it on a daily basis and certainly until we haven't seen things will be different and we know them from before good talking to thank you for joining us sir kristin that meant my from the world health organization thanks for having me. well let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world coronavirus lockdown measures are hampering relief efforts in india and bangladesh where fan
